Amaya Source Release

Last release date: 29 February 2008

Amaya is intended to be a comprehensive client environment for testing and evaluating new proposals for Web standards and formats. A large part of the intended features of Amaya are implemented in this release, but some of them are not complete yet. Amaya is designed as an application on top of the Thot editing tool kit.

Check out the list of new features.

Checkout from CVS

Checking out the code base directly from our CVS repository allows you to follow the development of Amaya closely and to contribute much easier. Also, you will get a lot of bug fixes that are not in the distribution tar ball. In fact, if you intend to provide patches then you should use the CVS repository! Access to the CVS base is only available in read-only mode.

Installing and compiling Amaya sources

Please see the information about the Amaya sources. Make sure you're using one of the supported platforms. If you want to compile Amaya on:

Unix platforms, read the Unix compiling section.
There is also an example of Gentoo ebuild file
MacOSX, read the note Amaya compilation on MacOSX
PC/Windows platform, read the Windows compiling section.

Installing dictionaries

Amaya includes a spell-checker. By default French and English dictionaries are included in the distribution. These dictionaries are not complete, so the spell-checker could report spelling errors just because the dictionary doesn't include these words.

If you need another dictionary, you must download and install it (in Amaya/dicopar/*.dic).

To install a dictionary you have just to unzip and untar it into the current directory Amaya/dicopar with the command "

tar xzf
